Though written for radio, Under Milk Wood surely deserves live public performance; yet, I would have thought it obvious that "a play for voices" is meant to be heard and not seen. Well, if it wasn't earlier this week, it should be now. By adding physical movement to his Dunster-East House production, director Walter Licht has only distracted from the poetry of Dylan Thomas's prose. His player's go through superfluous panto-mines of their words, freeze in awkward tableaux, and speak an appalling number of lines from halfway up the aisle...
Authorities at the federally subsidized Argonne National Laboratories outside Chicago heard of Mickelson's expertise in this narrow specialty, invited him in 1955 to start building experimental computer parts, offered to supply the raw materials. Mickelson figured that the demand for memory cores would be so great that even a small firm could cash in on it. He set up Fabri-Tek in his basement, working nights and weekends while he held his daytime job at Remington Rand.

To retrace the incredibly intricate course of this negotiation, Columbia's Professor Richard B. Morris spent five years puttering in French, British and U.S. archives. He came up covered with dust and glory, clutching original documents that compel a radical reinterpretation of Franco-American relations in the revolutionary...
...precedent is limited, for the circumstances of the Willie Brewster case were highly unusual. Brewster had never been involved in the civil rights movement; he was driving nome from his job at a local pipe factory at the time he was shot. The nightriders who killed Brewster had just heard a National States Rights Party speaker call for "bloodshed" if necessary to protect white men from Negroes and Communists. To add incentive to the search for the killers, Anniston's civic and business leaders offered a $21,000 reward...
